Here is the dress and I tried to get a few snaps. She was so excited and would not stand still. It did turn out cute and it fit her to a tee! I made it a little shorter than it was supposed to be because I didn't want her to trip up. Aren't the little appliques cute? I bought fat quarters for the colors of the shapes. I also did the neck of the bodice my way. It was supposed to have a little light blue insert trimmed with the gold ribbon. Well, I fiddled and fiddled with it and it just looked wrong so I cut another bodice and just made it plain. Shh...don't tell anyone.
Then the cape! Again she was reelin' and just a spinnin'. She loved her costume to say the least. The cape was made from 72" felt and I thought this won't last long! But it hangs so nicely. Oh, well. The pompom trim just makes it. Sorry I didn't take a picture of the pattern but we also picked up a pattern for the same costume for the American Gril Doll. I thought I would get it made for her doll before Halloween but it's not going to happen. I've come down with a bug and just don't feel that well.
Then today, Carter's school had their Halloween parade and I wasn't able to go! ;( But Mr. Precious went and took a few snaps of Carter marching proudly in her costume. I had to leave you with a little blur! :)
I want to wish everyone a safe and fun Halloween.
